The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1647

Eason's hand froze.

Just then, a sharp command came from the entrance.

"Eason, what do you think you're doing?! Let her go now!"

Everyone turned to see King Wright and Queen Wright, who had appeared at some point. Standing beside them was a handsome young man.

The moment the bound Abby saw him, her eyes lit up.

"Joshua!"

Joshua gave a slight nod, his gaze fixed on Stella, who was being held at gunpoint by Eason.

His long lashes drooped, concealing the darkness in his eyes.

Eason, however, did not lower his weapon. Instead, he said urgently, "Father, Mother, we can't let this woman go! She controls a significant portion of The Williams Group's original shares, as well as several cutting-edge tech companies. The Williams Group is rife with internal conflict. Even if she disappears and we take control of her, the Williams family will never come looking for her. Aurora is Wright's savior. We can use this connection, with Stella as a hostage, to help Aurora rise to power and gain countless benefits in return!"

Eason's words were simple, but King Wright and his wife understood their deeper meaning.

Eason wanted to marry Aurora to gain control of the Williams family.

His ambition was understandable. Aurora's stake in the Williams family was not small among the daughters. Rather than gaining an ally through marriage, it was better to take control of the family itself.

Eason's ambition was vast, and he clearly didn't think much of Aurora. As a royal prince, how could he not handle an illegitimate daughter raised in seclusion? The fact that he was willing to marry her should be something she was grateful for.

King Wright and his wife were shaken by Eason's ambition. They were tempted but couldn't show it with so many people present, especially with Noah and the head of the Gardner family watching. They couldn't exactly silence them both.
